If you are verifying the Maytag V19zBE54(3B), these are its yearly figures. With an electric water heater and an electric dryer, it uses 745 kWh a year at DOE's test use, and 6,596 gallons of water. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.06, above its class median of 1.57.
Energy and water per year
745 kWh a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer
Computed by this site from the registry's IMEF and drum capacity at DOE's test use of 295 cycles a year. IMEF counts the washer, heating its water electrically, and the electric dryer's work on what the spin leaves wet — so this is the total for that kind of home. How it is calculated
The machine and its hot water alone, dryer not included: 260 kWh a year, as ENERGY STAR files it.
Not published: A home with a gas water heater, a gas dryer or line drying
DOE's rating assumes electric water heating and an electric dryer and files no split between the machine, the water heating and the drying.
Such a home uses less electricity than the total above; how much less, no registry says for this model.
6,596 gallons of water a year
Computed from the registry's IWF and drum capacity at the same 295 cycles a year.
Not published: What the water costs
water and sewer rates are set by thousands of local utilities and no free national source publishes them.
The gallons above are the figure to multiply by your own water and sewer rate.
This model is rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class.

The 745 kWh figure is calculated by this site and is not a registry field. It combines the registry's IMEF of 2.06 with the model's capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, which is 5.2. The calculation assumes DOE's test use. It covers the washer, an electric water heater and an electric dryer, using DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-10-25. ENERGY STAR files a second figure for this model: 260 kWh a year. That figure counts only the machine and its electrically heated water, and it leaves out the dryer. The two figures cover different things, and only 745 kWh includes the dryer. The method page explains how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.

This site also calculates the 6,596 gallons figure. It uses the model's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, which is 4.3 here. That rating is combined with the 5.2 capacity at DOE's test use. The IWF and the capacity both come from the registry, and only the yearly total comes from this site. The total holds only at DOE's test use, so a household running a different number of loads would get a different total. This page gives no water cost for 6,596 gallons. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so that cost is not available here.
Among the 870 models registered as top-loading, standard size, this washer has the 37th highest IMEF. Its 2.06 is above the class median of 1.57. It is also rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class, and 652 of the 870 models are rated at that minimum. The registry lists it as sold under MVW7230H**. You can find other models in the class among all clothes washer pages. The running cost is not given in this text because it depends on your own utility electricity tariff. The page calculates it from your ZIP instead. The installed price range has its own block with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote.
